New look and feel
This version includes an updated graphic look with better contrast. With this change Handyman Office supports all screen resolutions, and we've even added individual options for using different colour combinations. This will also be the same for our On-premise customers.
Performance improvements
For our Cloud customers we've made significant performance improvements in the new release.
This results in:
- Much quicker startup for Cloud users
- Faster access to the resource planner
- Reports are displayed faster on the screen
Improved Checklist management
In this release we have new way of sharing checklist templates with our customers. We will now publish updates and new checklist templates independent of Handyman releases. This will give you much quicker access to new and updated checklist. The same applies to Dictionary and Wholesaler templates in the system.
In addition, new checklist management functions have been added:
- Add new version of a checklist to quickly make changes to existing checklist
- Create a copy of a checklist to make a new variant
- Save and load checklist templates locally to easy move checklist between Handyman installations. Handy for moving a checklist from test environment to production
Support for menu plugins
We're also introducing support for menu plugins. Menu plugins make it possible to add custom functions in many places in Handyman independent of the standard solution. We understand that each of our customers may have unique requirements, which is why we're offering individual customer solutions. This solution is now available for our Cloud customers too.
We will also use this possibility to offer new functionality to Handyman for customers with more advanced needs. The first product we deliver this way is the Handyman Route Planner menu plugin.
